I wonder why more deaf children are not mainsteamed into the public education system, thereby creating more interaction and therefore a ‘need’ to learn ASL by hearing persons. I was exposed to deaf culture early in my life because our neighbor and the grandparents of my best friend were deaf. Grandmother could lip read extremely well, but grandpa not so. I learned simply by being exposed and being welcomed into communication with them. I have lost most of the language simply because I have not had opportunity to use it. and that’s a shame. I dont’ think that not knowing sign language is because of arrogance, but moreso lack of exposure.
